PITTSBURGH, Jan. 19.-The baggage car
attached to the New York limited express,
which arrived in this city at 80 O'Clock
last night, was almost blown to pieces by
dynamite, or some other terrible explosive,
few miles east Of Altoona, Pa. Baggage
master Harry Mingus, who was in the
car at the time, was pretty badly hurt.
The trunk was put on the train at Dun
cannon, near Harrisburg, and was
checked through to Pittsburgh. Mingus
was arranging the trunks in the car.
He picked up small ordinary trunk
and threw it on top of some other baggage.
An explosion followed, which lifted the
top of the car Is though it was made of
paper, and scattered fragments in all .di-
rections. The shock was terrible, and
startled the engineer and trainmen. It al
80 attracted the attention Of the passen.
gers, and when it was found that the bag.
gage car had been almost blown to pieces the
greatest excitement prevailed. The train
was stopped and the baggage transferred
to another car. Mingus was quite seriously
injured, but will recover. A brakeman
who was in the car at the time escaped
By being thrown behind q stack
Of trunks. The damaged car was
sidetracked and the train then proceeded
on its way. The Pennsylvania railroad
officials have determined to sift the matter
to the bottom. The owner of the trunk
was arrested when he presented his check
for the trunk at the baggage-room this
morning. He said that he was Huuga-
rian coal miner, and that his name was
John Kagman. He came from Hazleton in
search Of work, and strenuously denied
that there was any explosive in the trunk.
1t contained, he claims, nothing but cloth.
ing and some matches. Pending thor.
ough investigation he will be detained.

SPIES-VAN ZANDT.
The Sheriff Of Chicago Says They Shall Not
Marry.


Marry.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19..Sheriff Matson POSI-
lively refuses to allow the marriage Of
spies, the condemned Anarchist, and laina
Van Zandt to take place. He says: II am
surprised that her parents have even per-
mitted the girl to visit the Jail, and much
more that they would consent to let her
wed man in prison, and that they will
not attempt to save their own child from
never-ending shame and disgrace I
shall see that she is at least
given chance to look before she
leaps. have consulted with good many
persons during the last few days, and I
find that public opinion is almost unani-
mously against the marriage. 1t is so
strong, in fact, that, after talking the
matter over with State Attorney Grinnell
am firmly resolved that the marriage
shall be indefinitely postponed. l hope
that Miss Van Zandt and her friends will
be reconciled to wait and believe that my
views are right, but whether they
do or not I am confident that the peo-
pie Of Chicago will applaud my
course. 1t is not necessary to ask how
I shall prevent it. Spies is my pris-
oner, and as such is entitled only to such
privileges or liberties as may think
proper to give him. The only person whom
I am obliged to allow access to him is his
lawyer" Miss Van Zandt appeared quite
Indifferent when told of the sheriff's de-
cision, but refused to be interviewed on
the subject. Miss Van Zandt went to the
Jail about 10 o'clock this morning and
sought an interview with Spies. The Jail
officials, however, in obedience to the
sheriff's orders, refused to allow her to
enter.

has had employment all winter, and his
eldest son worked with him. This morn
ing he and his son went to work shortly
before z o'clock. The mother, Antoinette,
had been out Of temper at the breakfast
table, and had refused to talk to her

sent Henry, her ffteen-year-old boy,
to grocery near by, and still an.
other son to q milk depot. When they
returned they could not get into the house.
Going into the back yard they saw
James, thirteen years old, in the water
closet, bleeding from sixteen wounds in the
left side. They hastened away and called
their Oldest brother, who had gone OF
with the father, and returning, the three
boys forced an entrance to the house.
They discovered Tony, an eight-year-old
girl, bleeding from dozen cuts in her
left side. On the floor near by were
Mamie, five years old, Antoinette,
three years old, and Willie, three
months old, all dead from dreadful stabs
near the heart. A bloody pair Of shears
told the story. A hunt was made for
the mother. She was found in the cellar
hanging from rsfter dead. She had kill.
ed her three children, mortally injured
two others and had then committed sui
eide. The two children who were still
alive were removed to q neighbor's house,

BRIpGEPokr, Jan. 2O.-The noble African
lion Kennedy, aged twenty years and val

dren all over the country, as he rode
perched on one Of the large chariots in the
street pageants Of the great Barnum Lon
don Circus, was killed yesterday in this
city in the presence Of fifty spectators. Mr..
Barnum and nearly all the physicians Of
the city were present The huge beast has
been suffering for the past year with spinal
meningitis, and the case was pronounced
incurablc. 1t has been q question how to
best kill the animal without causing an
uproar among the hundreds Of Gagged
beasts. Finally 1t was decided to use
chloroform, and DR.. Robert was ap-
pointed executioner. George johnson,
Kennedy's keeper, arranged the prelimi-
naries by securely binding the lions feet
to opposite sides Of the cage. A large bas-
ket was lined with rubber cloth, and into
this was placed about three-quarters of a
pound of chloroform. The cloth was then
tied over Kennedy's neck, and inhalation
began. For about two minutes the lion
struggled frantically to release his head,
and then he gradually succumbed to the

had evidently been well-padded, for moth

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 2l.-Breaking up Of
the ice in this end Of Lake Erie, yes
terday afternoon, brought CONSERVATION
to many homes in this city. More than the
usual number Of men were out on the ice,
and IL was reported early in the evening
that over one hundred had perished. 30
many different routes were taken by the
men to reach the shore in safety that
many did not get home till to-day. Owing
to the varied character Of men engaged in
fishing the full number Of missing men
can not be learned. A sensational
scene was the trip Of William Williams
and John Clark down Niagara river
on q small cake Of ice. The men hoated
down the river as far as the International
bridge before Patrick O'Brien and James
Hoolihan were able to overtake and res
cue them. The ice cake was not Of the
most substantial kind, and their escape
from the perilous situation 10 regarded as
rem arkable. George Bowman, barber,
and an old fisherman, was one Of the last
men in. He was as far out as any one, and
knew by the motion Of his lines in the
afternoon that the ice was moving. He

Rocky Point number Of narrow es-
capes were witnessed. A fisherman said
that on looking behind him, while hurry
ing to the shore, he saw man swimming
across chasm, fully thirty feet wide.
What the swimmers fate was he could
not say, as he had all he could do to look
out for himself. Another said that while
q man was standing on cake Of ice with
his dog and sled the cake suddenly tipped
and the man, dog and sled, slipped into the
water and disappeared. He was not seen
to come to the surface. Edward Hyland,
No. Of the life-saving crew, had thrill
ing experience. He was long distance
up the lake fishing, with his dog
and sleigh, and finding the ice commencing
to move, started for shore, but his dog was
frightened, and refused to stir step with
the load of fish. Hyland knew he was los
ing precious moments, but didn't want to
lose his dog and fish, and tried every effort
to get the animal to move. At this mo-
ment the ice beside him cracked and part
ed, the seam running q long distance
either way from where he stood. Still he
hesitated. The crack between him and
probable safety grew broader. Finally he
threw the sled across, and, abandoning
the dog to its fate, sprang across the
widening chasm, and made his way safely
to shore, dragging the sled Of fish after
him,
